Can anyone think of a better time for LSSU to loose two games? Kudos to
WMU and BGSU for a great weekend series.
Is there any team who would like to take on LSSU in February or March?? I
would like to hear response. Can there be a better team during that time
of year? If so, please provide facts......
Go Lakers, the best NCAA Div I team in the 90's,

Funny thing, these are the same things I've been saying to myself since
I found out about LSSU's weekend. Trying to ease the pain I guess.
There is no doubt that LSSU has established a tradition of finishing
the season strong, especially in the CCHA and NC$$ tournaments. In fact,
last year they had a horrible start and still did well enough in the
late season to win the CCHA tournament and do well in the NC$$
until running into the eventual national champions. However, the
more sobering facet of this weekend is the loss of John Grahame in
goal for 4-6 weeks. The Lakers have a strong backup in Sean Kulick but
Grahame was their money man. I guess it's times like these that
determine which teams have character and which are just riding a streak.
I think it's important to remember that the games this weekend were close
losses to very good teams. In fact, from what I can tell, the Lakers
started strong in both games but gave up too many goals late in the
game. Which brings up another point: when I saw the LSSU/St. Lawrence
series I thought the defense looked a little soft. That will have to
tighten up significantly to make up for the loss of Grahame.
I agree with Lisa in that I would much rather take losses now as
opposed to later in the season. The real proof is in how the Lakers
respond to what appear to be fairly major setbacks.
